Practical hints
Replacing bulbs
Notes on bulb replacement
ț Only use 12-volt bulbs of the same type
and with the specified watt rating.
ț Switch the lights off before changing a
bulb to prevent short circuits.
ț Always use a clean lint-free cloth when
handling bulbs.
ț Your hands should be dry and free of oil
and grease.
ț If the newly installed bulb does not
come on, contact an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center.
Have the LEDs and bulbs for the following
lamps replaced by an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center:
ț the additional turn signal lamps in the
exterior rear view mirrors
ț the high mounted brake lamp
ț the Bi-Xenon* low beam lamps
ț the Bi-Xenon* high beam flasher spot-
light
ț the front side marker lamps
Warning!
G
Bulbs and bulb sockets can be very hot.
Allow the lamp to cool down before chang-
ing a bulb.
Keep bulbs out of reach of children.
Halogen lamps contain pressurized gas.
A bulb can explode if you:
ț touch or move it when hot
ț drop the bulb
ț scratch the bulb
Wear eye and hand protection.
Because of high voltage in Xenon lamps, it is
dangerous to replace the bulb or repair the
lamp and its components. We recommend
that you have such work done by a qualified
technician.
! Do not replace the bulbs yourself. You could
otherwise damage the LEDs or parts of the
vehicle. Only have the LEDs replaced by an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center.
